5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK, August 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motors and Drives: A Practical Technology Guide (Paperback)
If you are new to the Motors and Drives industry or you just want to gain some more knowledge of how technology has been changing over the last few decades, this book is perfect! It's very easy to read, well structured, and is current up to the technologies that are available today. I am new the industry and I told my boss I'm going to have to read it at least 17 more times in order to soak up all the information that is contained in this book.

GREAT BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Motors and Drives - Great Book!, July 20, 2008
This review is from: Motors and Drives: A Practical Technology Guide (Paperback)
Excellent overall book written for the Control Specialist. Not a textbook, but a thorough review of all motor and drive systems being used within the industry. Not many authors talk about the old Eddy Current DC Motor drives, and other DC and AC motor drives prior to the computer age. There are some typos here and there that should have been better reviewed, but overall, this is a good fundamental book on DC and AC motors and drives. I have several excellent textbooks on academic and theoretical applications with motors and drives, but this book describe better real world applications and is written for people deciding on a particular drive system to be used for different applications. I highly recommend this book to readers wanting a general knowledge of DC and AC motors for general industrial applications. I will definitely have this on my shelf at work.
